My SWB 68' finally finshed my quest!!!

After almost a year of building my 68' I got to the point where it was time for paint jail! I couldn't find anyone to do it for a reasonable time or money so I decided to find me a roller! Sold all my parts and project truck. Thanks to Randy I picked my 68' up Friday night and transferred all my new parts on to the body I bought from him. I worked straight through sat till sunday completing motor driveshaft and everything. Lol...I feel it too I feel like somebody kicked my ass but I'm happy as hell with my end results! Loving my 502 crate motor and the looks and ride with the new suspension! Thank god for yesterdays chevrolet!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! That turned out great. It took a little for me to figure out exactly what you had done, but the end result was worth the effort.
